Boys are “cratering” in education per 2025-2026 coverage: steeper reading declines than girls across U.S. districts/grades (Stanford/NAEP data), kindergarten gaps persisting lifelong, lower HS graduation (e.g., 78% boys vs. 86% girls in MS), and higher suspensions fueling dropouts.

Alan Hahn, Ed.D., delivers it in The Iron Academy: Forging Young Men Who Fight For the King (On Amazon, Hardcover, July 2025; 5.0 stars): “We don’t build biblical men by accident. They must be forged—on purpose, in community, through truth.”

Backed by his school’s data—75% above average in language/reading, 8.7% IQ growth in year 1, 15:1 ratios, 100% wise men focus—this blueprint tackles:

• Manhood erosion hurting families/Church (with gap stats)
• Fathers/mentors instilling discipline, brotherhood (70%+ suspension cuts)
• Frameworks for integrity amid co-ed failures
• Spiritual urgency for parents/educators
• As Iron Academy CEO, Alan speaks stats-first, parent-practical on fixes now.

Timely angles:

• Boy crisis exposed: Why co-ed models fail boys—and Iron’s tweaks (movement lessons, peer hierarchies) boost outcomes
• Parent/school fixes: Borrow character training, athletics for accountability to cut suspensions 70%+ like peers
• Masculinity mandate: Build “forgotten men” rooted in faith, leadership—not resentment
• Policy push: What educators/policymakers can steal now amid widening gaps
• Alan speaks stats-first, parent-practical.
